Description
Looking for companion care work in Mytholmroyd that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families who want conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home — the kind of companionship work that makes a real difference. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companion care is ideal if you enjoy spending time chatting over a cuppa, accompanying someone on short walks, supporting hobbies or providing reassurance at home. In Mytholmroyd and across West Yorkshire you’ll meet people who want kindness and company more than clinical care. Work can be regular daytime calls, weekend visits or occasional outings — the pattern is yours to agree with each family.
Pay is set by you; typical ranges for this kind of role are £18.50–£20 per hour. For more detailed guidance we also show £18.50–£20 per hour for short visits and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates so you can choose what suits you best.
PrimeCarers handles the practical side: we find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you are working with a client. That support lets you focus on the person in front of you rather than paperwork.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. Many carers come to PrimeCarers after agency work because they want greater control over who they support and when. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Most carers who work with families in Mytholmroyd also take assignments in nearby towns such as Hebden Bridge, Hebden Royd, Sowerby Bridge, Todmorden, Halifax and Denholme — that flexibility helps you build a local client list without long travel. If you value respectful, conversational care and want to work independently with solid administrative support, this could be a good next step.
